HTTP Verbs Support

The StackInABoxService object provides the ability to register arbitrary functions against an arbitrary set of HTTP Verbs. The object provides definitions of a common set of verbs, f.e GET, HEAD, POST, PUT. If a desired HTTP Verb is not provided then it can be simply used by specifying the correct string for the HTTP Verb when registering the end-point specifications:

class MoreHttpVerbSupport(StackInABoxService):

    RANDOM = 'RANDOM'

    def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
        super(self, MoreHttpVerbSupport).__init__(*args, **kwargs)
        self.register(self.RANDOM, '/random', MoreHttpVerbSupport.random)
        self.register(
            'WHOLESOME', '/wholesome', MoreHttpVerbSupport.wholesome
        )

    def random(self, request, uri, headers):
        return (200, headers, str(random.randint()))

    def wholesome(self, request, uri, headers):
        return (200, headers, 'wholesome' * 5)

Note

There is no validation of the HTTP Methods in the registration functionality. Thus any string value can be used for an HTTP Verb; as long as it can be used as a valid dict key it can be used as an HTTP Verb.
